Arrival for Surgery

When you arrive, you (and a guest if preferred) will be shown to your private pre-op room, which you will return to after surgery for your post-op care to maximize your comfort and privacy.

During the Procedure

Natural light in the operating suite provides a view of the sky as you enter and makes the space more welcoming while still providing the highest level of privacy.

During the surgery, Dr. Lefkowitz will improve the position and shape of your ear through a small, well-hidden incision on the BACK of your ear. He will employ re-folding, suturing, and shaping of your ear to achieve a natural, proportional shape and position.
